U.S. drinking up, but tastes, norms vary from state to state

Nov 16, 2011

(USAToday) - In Manhattan, Millie Tourtelot keeps an eye out for restaurants with good wine lists or innovative cocktails. "I really like to enjoy what I'm drinking," says Tourtelot, 32. In Chicago, Mike Flanagan, 24, has a few beers in his apartment before downing a few more at a neighborhood bar with friends. Meanwhile, down in Grapevine, Texas, Jim Richards, 58, steers clear of alcohol entirely. He runs the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention, which in 2007 banned its leaders from drinking.
